I'm tied to Athena.

Hey, what's this in my hand?

Wait, isn’t this Brother Zhongqi’s gun?

Well, as a knight chef, I certainly had no choice but to accept this job.

Chapter 43: Aisi's Identity

"Is that the adventurer who attended the celebration banquet with Loki's followers yesterday?" "I heard that he is a follower of the goddess Athena."

"The family of the goddess of wisdom!?" "Hey, hey, he's already above level 2, right? What title will he be given when the gods meet?"

"Yes, I wonder what title the gods will give me at the conference." "Even though I am the goddess Athena, it is difficult to get a nice title for the children of my own clan, right?"

"Is it like this every time you go out?" Li Yun felt a little uncomfortable listening to the discussions around him. He was not used to the feeling of being stared at.

"Well, you'll get used to it." The mouth is on someone else's body, and what they say is their business. Besides, they didn't scold you or curse your whole family, so you can't do anything to them, right?

"I'll try my best." Li Yun scratched his head and said helplessly. He also had a premonition that with his performance in the dungeon, his future life would probably be surrounded by rumors.

When Li Yun, Tiona and the others went down to the dungeon, Athena also came to the headquarters of Loki's family.

"Oh, dear Athena, did you miss me?" Loki, who had drunk to death last night, has returned to normal. Looking at Athena who came to visit her, he is like a hungry tiger pouncing on a rabbit.

Athena calmly turned sideways, avoiding Loki's warm welcome, and jumped down from the second floor, landing face first on the ground, and then hitting the wall, forcing the brakes to stop because there was no braking system.

"Athena, you are still so shy." Loki stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and then hugged his chest and laughed, "What do you want to talk to me about today?"

"About Ess Wallenstein."

These simple words made Loki's narrowed eyes open slightly.

Then the scene changed. Loki brought Athena to his room. She sat opposite Athena, crossed her arms, and stared at her friend with her scarlet eyes. "I can roughly guess what Athena wants to say, so let me ask in advance, how much do you know, Athena?"

"If the story in the book is true, then I should know everything about her parents."

".....What? Don't you know everything?" After a long silence, Loki leaned back in boredom, sinking his whole body into the soft sofa, "We were planning to see Athena's surprised expression."

"I'm not the kind of person who can be frightened so easily."

"It's not hard to guess." Athena glanced at the bookshelf in Loki's room. "The great hero Albert appears in many books. There are countless names about him, such as Albert Osires, Sword Overlord, etc."

"And the name of Mercenary King Valentinstein only appears in the Sacred Tales of the Labyrinth. If you only glance at the book or don't pay too much attention, you will simply ignore the name of this hero."

"Also, the matter of the hero's son has not been spread out. Only a very small number of people who have had contact with the hero know that the hero has a child."

"However, I don't care about these things. It was Li Yun who guessed it first."

There are many monuments to heroes in the front yard and the first cemetery of the Orario Guild Headquarters. This is a cemetery built to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the people.

And in the deepest part of this cemetery, there stands a single tombstone - the tomb of the hero Arbat!

He is a hero that no one can surpass, and he is a great pioneer praised by people. However, people only know that he sacrificed for the people, but they don’t know that he was married and had children.

"Li Yun, are you close? Your child is as smart as you."

"...Yes, Ai Si Tan is the child of the great hero. He is the child of Arbat and the fairy Arya, a hybrid of human and fairy." Loki scratched his head, seeming to be a little troubled. "We watched this child grow up."

Fairies, along with fairies, are considered a representative magical race. Compared to other races, they are few in number and mysterious. They are recognized as the race closest to God.

Therefore, the fairies were given titles such as God's most beloved children and God's incarnations.

Their potential is far higher than that of other races. In ancient times before the advent of God, they were responsible for eliminating monsters and guiding humans under the will of God, and their existence as assistants to heroes has the same meaning as the grace of God today.

Now that the underworld is filled with the blessings bestowed by God, the help provided by the immortal spirits is not as great as before. However, if the immortal spirits become adventurers, they are still the top existences.

Aisi has half the blood of such a race flowing in her body.

She has been pushing herself to kill monsters since she was a child, and she has not been destroyed by the terrible training because of the immortal bloodline that protects her.

"Back then, when that child came to Orario, I took her in. She is irreplaceable to me." Loki was unusually serious. "So I have been protecting her. At the God's Assembly, it doesn't matter if I offend other gods for the sake of that child's title. At the banquet, any god who attacks that child will be beaten back by me."

"Aisi... is the princess of Loki's family! I promised him, and myself, that I will never let Aisi suffer any more!"

"He..." Athena noticed the word but didn't ask directly.

"I have already learned about what happened on the 50th floor. My child said that the monster from the 59th floor was not targeting him, but Ais." Athena told him what she knew, "That's why I came to see you today."

"Huh?" Loki's aura changed a little when he learned about this for the first time. In the battle on the 50th floor, no one, including Finn, thought that this was a deliberate targeting by the monster. Only Li Yun, who had grasped the monster's information, knew that this was a targeting with a clear purpose.

"Someone wants to attack our Ai Si Tan?" The red pupils opened again, and the Nordic god Loki showed his aura as a god for the first time, "Dear Athena, what do you know?"

"I don't know much, but I think I need to go to the 50th floor... No, the 59th floor. The monster is hiding on the 59th floor. Only by going there can we get enough information."

"Fifty-nine floor..." Loki bit her finger subconsciously, and she began to wonder who would attack Ais.

Hidden in the dungeon, there are also horrific attacks across nine floors. It's a monster... Is it someone who knows Ai Si who is controlling the monster to attack Ai Si...

PS: You guys are so unconscious (crazy hint)

PS: There is more to come

Chapter 44: Sudden Gaze

No, Athena was talking about the final blow.

Loki seemed to have guessed something, and then he opened his eyes completely, "I see, the dark faction?"

That monster supported the battle of the monsters on the 50th floor, which meant that the monsters on the 59th floor were paying attention to the battle on the 50th floor. Aisi's participation in the battle and her actions made it notice Aisi, so it took the risk to launch an attack on the 59th floor.

It is natural that monsters cannot communicate normally with humans, so the only possibility is that there is someone next to the monster, commanding it.

The only one who can do this is a tamer, taming the monsters like animals, making them understand that the tamer is greater than them, and then willingly being commanded by the tamer.

However, the profession of animal tamer first appeared in the Ganesha clan. Could this clan, which takes the initiative to protect Orario and act as the city guard of Orario, be from the dark faction?

Loki didn't want to believe it.... After all, what else could their gods do except say I am Ganesha?

"The peaceful life in the underworld doesn't seem to have made your brain degenerate." Athena smiled, "I also guessed that it was the dark faction, but it is precisely because I guessed it was the dark faction that I felt terrified."

"Except for the former Zeus family and Hera family, no one can reach the 59th floor, and now..."

"The dark faction has arrived at the 59th floor and created new monsters there." Loki took over the conversation with an impatient expression on his face. "Those guys only know how to cause trouble for us! Can't they just let us enjoy our life in the netherworld?"

"I really like this city that brings us laughter!"

"And he's also targeting our favorite Ai Si Tan!"

"Have you ever been involved with the dark faction?" Athena came here not only to remind Loki that her family was being targeted by the dark faction, but also to find out whether Loki had ever fought against the dark faction.

"No, dear Athena, you know that I only ascended to the position of the Twin Kings of Orario fifteen years ago, and the dark faction disappeared decades ago. The only action they took was a tragedy six years ago. I don't know anything more than that."

Loki had only been in this world for a short time and had become the King of Orario. He didn't know much about the dark faction.

In fact, if Athena hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have known that she was being targeted.

"Really? During this period of time, I will investigate more about the dark faction, and you can help me. With the strength of your family, it will be easy to get information. Don't be lazy. If I know that you are lazy and not working..." Athena showed a harmonious smile, "I will spread your past embarrassment throughout Orario!"

"Hey hey!! Dear Athena, how could you do this to me!" Loki jumped up from the sofa in fear. If those boring gods in Orario knew about her embarrassing story, there would be a lot more things to laugh at her at the party!

no! Absolutely not!

Originally, she thought that with Athena around, she could take a break, but now it seems...she has to put in a little effort as well.

Athena left the Loki Family headquarters and started wandering around Orarium. So far, this was the only information they had, and they knew nothing except the dark faction.

That's why she wanted to walk around the city a few more times.

The dark faction must have hidden something in this city. If you look carefully, you will definitely find it. As the goddess of wisdom, she has such confidence.

On the other side, in the dungeon, Li Yun, Ai Si and their group began their harvesting journey. Even without weapons, the first-level adventurers with bare hands were enough to crush those LV2 monsters.

Due to time constraints, Diona and the others didn't want to go to the lower levels, so they leveled up by killing monsters on the 17th floor. Although the magic stones were not valuable, a little bit adds up to a lot, hundreds of thousands a day, hundreds of thousands a day, tens of millions... it would be over soon.

"It's about time." Although she wasn't sure how much time had passed, Diona still judged the time with her adventurer's intuition, "It's a good time to go back and eat."

"Is it this time already?" Li Yun was still not used to the time in the dungeon. There was no watch in this world to tell him the time. Whether the adventurer went back or not depended entirely on his own judgment.

"Yeah." Tiona patted her bulging backpack, "And the backpack can't hold the magic stones and dropped items anymore."

"It's really convenient to go down the dungeon with Liyun." Dione said happily that she had found dinner for today.

The Earth's Favor skill allows Li Yun to accurately grasp where monsters are and how to move in order to encounter the most monsters in the shortest time. This means that even if there are three LV5 first-level adventurers, they can still get enough prey.

However, the only one who was a little pitiful was Lefiya. When she encountered a small monster, she was killed by three people before she could even chant. Even if she used a staff to fight, her speed could not be faster than the three monster killers who turned into demons because they had no money.

Of course, this is also because Lefiya is not in a financial crisis and does not have to work as hard for money as Ai Si and the other two, so the three of them kill monsters without hesitation.

"Then let's go back." Li Yun and his group of five walked out of the dungeon, and after exchanging the magic stones for faries in the guild, they parted at the door of the guild.

"Hey, don't we have a destination on the same route?" Diona felt a little disappointed. She originally wanted to stay with him for a while longer.

"Sorry, I'm waiting for a friend here. You guys go back first." Li Yun looked at the time and found that Ai Lei was also about to get off work, so he planned to wait for her here and go back together.

"Well, see you tomorrow then." Dione didn't ask for too much, but she had already agreed that they would stay with Li Yun for the next few days.

After experiencing the power of the skill "Favor of the Earth", how could she let such a "cash machine" get away? Even Ai Si nodded in agreement.

After seeing off Tione and the others, Li Yun stood beside the guild, silently waiting for Ailei to get off work.

But in the moment he stood here, just that moment, Li Yun noticed something strange.

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the alley next to the guild. He just felt that someone was staring at him.

She appeared in an instant and disappeared in an instant, just like she glanced at him carelessly.

"It was intentional...but he caught my movement and ran away. Is his reaction so fast?

PS: If I don’t write what’s coming next, I’ll be dying (I’ll save my life with my dog ​​head)

Chapter 45: Banquet of God

"Li Yun?" Ai Lei looked at Li Yun standing at the guild entrance curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay. Are you off work?" Li Yun retracted his gaze and said as if nothing had happened.

"It's finally time to get off work. I tell you, there's a lot of work to do today... It's the annual Monster Festival again, and I'm almost dying of busyness." Ai Lei immediately began to complain to Li Yun, "The captured monsters need to be recorded, the city's security needs to be controlled, and the stage for the performance also needs to be prepared..."

"I don't know why Uranus holds the Monster Festival. Every time there is such a festival, we are the ones who suffer. I just want to take a day off and have a good time at the Monster Festival..."

"Monster Festival?" Li Yun tilted his head to express his confusion when he heard the name for the first time.

"Ah, come to think of it, you just arrived recently." Ailei raised a finger and said with pride, "The so-called Monster Festival is a super large event hosted by the Ganesha family once a year!"

"The event will book the arena for a whole day, and then train the monsters captured from the dungeon in front of everyone."

"It's just that the initiative that swept across Orario was proposed by the guild. Although the organizer is the Ganesha clan, the guild members also have to contribute."

At the end, Ai Lei couldn't help but sigh, "And there is no time to rest on the day of the event. In order to deal with various situations that may arise, our staff must conduct constant supervision."

"That's really hard work." In fact, Li Yun has always thought so. The organizers of the celebration are the hardest working people. After all, as Ai Lei was protesting, holding an event that involves the whole city is too tiring.

"Come to think of it, the divine assembly that Athena will attend tomorrow is held by the Ganesha clan. It seems that it is held to get other clans to contribute... at least to prevent other clans from causing trouble."

Ai Lei thought about it, and then said with envy and jealousy: "But the gods in this world are very boring. They go to the banquet probably to eat, drink and have fun. Business has nothing to do with them."

"They are all gods, why is there such a big gap between them?"

Facing Ai Lei's complaints, Li Yun could only listen. Actually, with Li Yun here to earn money to support the family, it wouldn't be a problem for Ai Lei to quit. But she still stayed in the guild to get the guild's information as soon as possible.

She had no divine power and could not help Athena and Li Yun in other ways, so she could only do her bit in this way.

Li Yun is not a gentle male protagonist, and he cannot say something like "leave everything to me". Moreover, if he really said that, Ai Lei would also reject him righteously.

Even though Ai Lei is like this, she has her own dignity in her heart.

"How about I make your favorite food tonight to reward you?"

"Really? I want to eat so much delicious food!" The goddess showed her innocent and lovely smile again, and followed Li Yun giggling.

Li Yun and Ai Lei returned home after buying groceries, chatting and laughing, and then began to prepare dinner.

Like Athena, Ailei couldn't cook. In the seven years before Liyun arrived, she had been eating the employee meals prepared by the guild.

Sometimes Li Yun wondered, if he, a good young man of the 21st century who knew how to make money and cook, was still in his original world, would he be very popular?

When Athena came back, Li Yun just brought the last dish to the table... She came back on time by sensing the Gorgon Stone.

It was another happy day, and the next day, Li Yun and Dione spent the day in the underground city. In the evening, he changed into a tuxedo, sat in the driving seat of the carriage, waiting for the two goddesses to come out.
